“Dalfruin” is a substantial and distinctive stone built detached Victorian
villa that sits in beautiful mature gardens. Located on the west side of
Helensburgh in a well established and much admired conservation area, the
property is close to the centre of town. The house has been granted B listed
status, being of architectural note and of historic interest. The
accommodation is laid out over two levels and extends to just over 2600 square
feet in total. The layout is perfect for family living, combining spacious and
bright public rooms with generously proportioned bedrooms on the upper floor.
On entering, a wide reception hall features a grand staircase with timber
balustrade to the upstairs. To the front of the house are two delightful main
public rooms, with a lounge and formal dining room. These two rooms enjoy
views over the garden grounds through large four framed windows (the lounge
having an additional side window) and both rooms feature fire surrounds and
lovely cornicework. Adjacent to the staircase there is a cloakroom area and
this leads through to a shower room with wc and wash hand basin. From the
shower room, there is access to a large storage cupboard. To the side/rear of
the house is a study(which could be an additional sitting room) with a window
looking onto the driveway. There is a large modern kitchen to the rear and it
has a separate serving/pantry area. There are numerous wall and base units
fitted, an inbuilt oven and hob, dishwasher and large worksurface areas. The
kitchen is certainly large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs.
Off the kitchen is a rear hall that gives access out to the back gardens and
from the hall a door opens in to a sizeable utility room which has a door out
to the side of the house.
Moving on to the upper accommodation, on the half landing there is a family
bathroom with a light coloured three piece suite (shower over bath). The upper
landing is large and wide and is bathed in natural light from a circular
cupola above. The landing gives access to four very well proportioned double
bedrooms, two of which enjoy south facing aspects across the gardens. The
master bedroom has a modern ensuite shower room with shower, wc and wash
basin. The house is warmed by gas fired central heating and the windows are
replacement double glazed units.
The property enjoys fabulous garden grounds that provide gravelled parking to
the side/entrance of the property. From here a gate opens through to large
south facing gardens to the front and this area enjoys sunshine throughout the
day. There is a large lawned area, with numerous bedded areas and with mature
trees throughout. There is access from the garden up the other side of the
house to the utility room. There is a garden shed found here. The rear gardens
that back onto West Montrose Street are completely enclosed by stone walls and
again feature a lawn with plants, shrubs and trees on the periphery. There is
a timber shed and access to an attached stone built garage that has an
electrically operated door and has power and light installed.
West Montrose Street has long been regarded as one of the most sought after
and popular addresses within Helensburgh, located on the west side of town yet
only a short walk from the centre where a wide selection of shops and
supermarkets can be found along with a number of bars, restaurants and cafés.
Helensburgh Central train station offers regular and direct services to
Glasgow and Edinburgh with Helensburgh Upper station providing a sleeper
service to London. The area is well served by good primary and secondary
schools (both state and private) and there are a number of excellent sporting
clubs found within the town including rugby, cricket, tennis, bowling and
golf. Sailing can be found on the Clyde Estuary and the Gare Loch and
Helensbugrh is surrounded by stunning scenery, all within a few minutes' drive
away. Helensburgh is also regarded as a convenient commuter town to Glasgow
which can be reached by car in around forty to forty five minutes. The
International Airport is easily accessible via the Erskine Bridge. EPC Band :
